Welcome to my newsletter! Thanks for signing up. Here’s your free ecopy of The Claiming of the Duke. A little backstory on this short fantasy romance:
In The Sand Prince, Rhuun’s fascination with the human world, and ultimately the reason he braves the dangers of The Door and visits Mistra, starts when he finds a little book in his mother’s library. It’s the only human book he’s ever seen, and he can’t help but notice the people on the cover look like him, not like his demon kin and friends on Eriis. He comes to think its a sort of documentary, and plans to act accordingly. What he doesn’t know is that The Claiming of the Duke–as the name implies–is an old fashioned, lurid bodice-ripper, and human women (one in particular) won’t much care for being called ‘wench!’
So I started with quotes from an imaginary book, and then decided to write the whole thing. You don’t have to read The Sand Prince to enjoy The Duke, but I’d be personally grateful if you do. Be warned: adult content.
Enjoy!
